2018 v16 Photography Competition Judges

The WPJA is pleased to present Genova, Italy wedding photographer Julian Kanz with an official Master Piece Award as recognition for exceptional wedding photojournalism.

The best wedding reportage photographers from around the globe submit their top photos to the Wedding Photojournalist Association's photography contests because they appreciate having the opportunity to be recognized. Their photographs are scrutinized by some of the most notable and respected working photojournalists and picture editors in the news industry (not the wedding industry). Winning these competitions is a true accomplishment for a documentary wedding photographer.

WPJA contest judges have been recognized by their industry peers, winning top awards as staff picture editors, staff photojournalists, and newsroom mentors while working for these and other leading publications and journalism organizations.
